The mansion is brightly lit at night, and the garden is full of horse-drawn carriages by the fountain. The coachmen and attendants began to gamble in groups.

The conductor's baton was gently swiped, and the musicians played melodious music, which echoed softly in the hall.

A pair of people danced to the beat, and the women's long skirts were like butterflies.

The dance between Irene and Count Gruglu was over, and the two of them stood at opposite ends of the hall, either busy talking to the other nobles, or watching quietly.

Who to see?

Shelley and Gray, of course.

The ball was a trading ground for nobles and celebrities, and the two families that were enough to control the entire Duchy of Besil had just collapsed, and the two of them, who were members of the family, seemed to have just begun a pleasant evening. And after Ireen and Count Grugru left the scene, they successfully took over and became the protagonist in the center of the dance floor.

The nobles who came to the ball were watching.

"Come, I'll teach you, follow the beat, yes, that's all. Ahh......h

......

"What's going on?" Irene whispered to Halls on the side.

"No, I don't know. Miss Shelley came up suddenly. ”

"Suddenly?"

"Yes, suddenly. ”

From afar, Ireen noticed that Count Grugru's face was indifferent, his brows were furrowed, and he turned his face sideways to explain something to the people beside him. It doesn't seem to be what he arranged.

......

Under Shelley's tutelage, Gray learns little by little, and little by little he improves.

"You're going to pull me. ”

"But you're a better dancer than I am. ”

"It's not. It doesn't matter if it's good or not, you're a man, you have to pull it. Do you understand?"

"Uh...... I'll try. ”

"Yes, that's all. Well done. ”

Gray was still clumsy, but that didn't hide Shelley's light. The young Shelley was like a jewel, radiating a brilliant light at this vulgar ball. No matter what moves Gray makes, she can follow with skill and thoughtfulness.

There is no doubt that she is the one present, the one who dances best. So much so that when put together with the clumsy Gray, there is a beauty of Beauty and the Beast.

This makes them the protagonists of the ball, and even the musicians can't help but change the tempo of the music for them.

Gray was a little obsessed with this feeling.

"Haven't you ever been to a prom before?"

"Nope. ”

"What do you do in your daily life, don't you have any hobbies?"

"Usually?" Gray thought silently, and realized that he didn't usually seem to be doing anything.

When he first woke up, he was dedicated to learning magic from his teacher. Later, it was hung up in Bruttu's laboratory as an ornament. Furnishings, of course, are usually hung. After that, the road of escape began. It wasn't until he stepped on the ground that he began to have a little time for himself.

If there's one thing I like to do, it's probably digging graves and collecting skeletons. He loved to dig graves.

So, he embellished it a little and became: "Find a job for people who don't have a job, and in addition to that, I like to read." ”

"Helping people find jobs? It seems that you are very enthusiastic about public welfare. ”

"Yes, I see, but people don't seem to understand me. ”

"There are always some people in this world who like to be jealous of others, don't take it personally. By the way, what books do you usually read?"

"The Knight's Guide, and the Bible. In fact, I only have these two books. ”

"Do you want to watch it repeatedly?"

"Yes. ”

"I know the Bible, but what is the Knight's Guide to Becoming a Horseman? Are all knights' hobbies so strange?" asked Shelley playfully.

......

"I haven't seen Shelley in a few years?" asked Irene suddenly.

Abby Robles replied in a whisper, "It must have been five years, and the last time we saw her, she came to visit the old duke with Count Grugru. She was a kid at the time. ”

"It's been five years...... Do you think it's possible for Earl Glogru to send his own granddaughter to test Gray?"

"I can't tell. ”

"How's her usual reputation?"

"Not so good. is too willful, and the Gruglu family seems to be very indulgent to her again. ”

"Got it. Irene replied lightly.

......

At the end of the song, the people around saluted and left.

Gray also wanted to salute, but was held by Shelley's hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Isn't it over?"

"There's the next song. ”

Soon, a new dance music was played, this one slower and softer than the previous one.

"It's a slow song, we can have a good chat. Shelley smiled, taking Gray's hand and placing it on his waist.

"Chat ......" that smile, Gray panicked, and hurriedly said, "You wait a minute." ”

"Wait?"

Then everyone saw Gray hurrying off the dance floor and leaving the hall, leaving Shelley alone in the middle of the dance floor. Gradually, his face was puffed up.

"Who is this?"

She was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she didn't leave.

From afar, Ireen and Count Grugrew seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

......

Hurrying upstairs, Gray opened his door with a "bang", and then picked up the black cat that was on the veranda.

"Wow! What are you going to do!"

"I need you!"

The black cat was shoved into his armor by Gray and hurried downstairs. The skull and ugly cat face are crammed into a helmet again.

"What do you need me for?"

"I seem to be in love!"

"Grass mud horse! I haven't looked at it for an hour, and you arched which cabbage? No, which cabbage did you arch? Wait, no, you can't seem to arch ......."

......

Soon, Gray was back in the hall and headed straight for the center. Then he took Shelley's hand, who was still stunned.

All of a sudden, the hearts of Irene and Count Grugrew rose again.

"I'm back!"

"Where did you just be?" Shelley was stunned for a moment.

"You said you wanted to talk, so I went to find a staff officer. ”

"And the staff officer to talk to? Where is he?"

"You can't see him. ”

"Really? Shelley, who was already angry, laughed.

"Listen, you're a staff officer for me. Anyway, she can't understand the cat's meow, so I'll reply to you with a voice. That's perfect!"

The black cat replied with a look of wanting to die, "Oh. ”

Accompanied by dance music, Shelley gently snuggled up to Gray.

"That'...... What do you want to talk to me about after you find a staff officer?"

"What are you talking about?" Gray asked in the black cat's mind.

"How do I know, talk about what you like, what do you like?" the black cat snarled in response.

"Talking about the refining of the Black Stone?" Gray asked Shelley.

"Alchemy?"

"Yes!"

"But I'm not interested in alchemy. Shelley pouted.

"She's not interested!" Gray cried out in the black cat's head.

"Got it, aren't you going to change the subject, you idiot!" the black cat replied.

"What about puppetry?"

"What is this?"

"She doesn't understand!" Gray continued to cried out in the black cat's head.

"I can hear that! I don't want to talk about it! Can't you just talk about something normal?"

"What's normal?"

Well, there's obviously nothing normal to talk about in the Lich's knowledge base.

"What the hell am I doing wrong? The Holy Spirit is going to punish me like this! A lich in love? I know! It's worse than a lich who is a priest!" the black cat scolded, but said patiently, "Listen, you say, 'You're so beautiful.'" ”

"You're so beautiful. Gray complied.

"Thank you. Shelley replied with a smile.

"Then tell her that you are the most beautiful woman tonight. ”

"But I think Irene is also beautiful. ”

"Do you still want to chat? Do you understand how to coax a woman!

Obviously, Gray didn't understand, but he did.

"You are the most beautiful woman tonight. ”

"Yes? Thank you. Shelley pursed her lips and ran her little finger through the ends of her hair, a look of delight.

"It's a special honor to be able to dance with you. ”

Shelley smiled and blinked, as if he was very interested in Gray's words.

"I heard that you are the most powerful knight of the Behill family. Well, probably also the most powerful knight in the entire Duchy of Beshir, or even the entire kingdom of Isaac. ”

"Uh...... Really?"

"You defeated Will of House Caspar and Anderson of House Sam. ”

"Who are these?"

"These are the knights you defeated, don't you even remember their names?"

"Uh...... Sorry, I don't have the habit of remembering their names. Should I remember?"

"No, don't remember. You are right. The loser's name doesn't need to be remembered. ”

"Do you hear me, she's complimenting me!Does that mean I'm having a good chat?" Gray asked the black cat cautiously.

"I don't think so. The black cat rolled her eyes and sighed, "But I can see it, she wants to hook up with you." ”

"Hook up?"

"It's just to tease you!

"Huh?"

Helplessly, the black cat could only translate into a language that Gray understood: "Flirt with each other, then fall in love, and then reproduce." And then you're completely trapped. ”

"You mean I'm already in love?"

"So to speak. Wait, where did you learn the word 'love'?"

"You said that on the way to the White City. I'm still having a headache about what to do, after all, there is a sentence in the vow, 'I will never die for what I love'. I have to keep my vow, I'm a good lich with good faith and integrity, don't I?"

"Heh......" The black cat was speechless.

"It's weird. Shelley whispered, "I've been hearing cats bark since the beginning." ”

"Oh, really?"

"It's still coming out of your armor. It's weird. ”

"It could be the sound of a heartbeat. Gray replied casually.

"Is that how your heart beats?" said Shelley, smiling sweetly.

"I swear, I never taught it. No matter how despicable and shameless I am, I will never do such a filthy thing as teaching a lich to say disgusting love words to a good woman!" the black cat swore in his armor.

"This is what I read in the "Knight Guide". Gray whispered back.

"So it's not just a knightly novel, it's a yellow book, right?"

At this moment, Black Cat suddenly realized how necessary publishing censorship was!

A Lich in Love!...... Isn't there anyone to take care of it? What about the Holy Spirit Angels who say good, and what about the Holy Sanctions?

......

"Sneeze ——!" The male angel lurking in the shadows sneezed heavily.
